The Irresistible Blueberry Farm

Almost always enjoy movies with Alison Sweeney or Marc Blucas. There are some Hallmark actors that never disappoint and these two are on my list. What can I say about the movie? Great chemistry between Alison and Marc. Great cast, just enough humor to have me chuckling. My only problem is the dart game Dead Presidents, I don't know how to play darts but shouldn't their target be a bill with a President on it? Benjamin Franklin was never a president dead or otherwise. I understand that they were playing for 100 dollars. They could have used two 50 dollar bills since Grant, a president, is actually on that bill. If the target doesn't have to be a president, then they should call the game something else. Just saying and whew, got that off my chest. Loved that she became a celebrity in the town as The Swimmer and the Karaoke scene, where she realizes that she no longer wants to be "living in somebody else's skin".. the whole movie was charming and just what I have come to expect from Alison and Marc. If a sequel is not possible Hallmark at least needs to pair Marc and Alison in other movies, they are great together. Read the book too, it is very good.

My local library offered up this DVD, originally a 2017 Hallmark TV movie. I'll readily admit it's not normal fare for me but I wanted to give it a try. As one might expect it's sweet, poignant, predictable, and a little quirky. Alison Sweeney is very charismatic as Ellen, a NYC lawyer who travels to the small town of Beacon, Maine to deliver a mysterious letter from her recently deceased grandmother (Shirley Jones). While trying to take photos from a rickety pier, Ellen falls into the water and is rescued by the dashing local Roy, who just happens to be the great nephew of the addressee of the letter. Marc Blucas ably portrays Roy and the chemistry between Ellen and Roy is believable. Oops! The complication is that Ellen has just been proposed to by Hayden (Kavan Smith), an aspiring politician. With wonderful cinematography, I did get a good sense that I was in a small town in Maine. No regrets from me that I escaped for a while into this feel-good tale from Hallmark.

Why do so many supposedly wholesome romantic Hallmark films involve infidelity? This, like so many of their other films has the main character finding herself and true love while cheating on her perfectly nice but not quite right for her fiancé. Why is that something we should route for? Hallmark leads leave a trail of broken engagements and wronged lovers in their paths in the pursuit of 'the one'. It's baffling to me why that should be seen as romantic.

This was better than your usual hallmark movie! There needs to be sequels to this one. The story was soooo feel good, but not cheesy. Liked it even better than the lacy Chabert series where she marries (goats in tow) in part 3 of the with all my heart movies!!!

I loved this movie!! I hadn't seen it before, so It must not be a regular in the Hallmark rotation - but it should be. Great scenery, great plot and great cast. As in all Hallmark movies, you suspect the old boyfriend is toast as soon as it begins. Usually he's too perfect, rich and shallow. In this movie, I didn't know which man to root for, because I like both actors. Loved seeing Shirley Jones as the ghost of Grandma. Even my husband enjoyed it. Definitely worth seeing again.

The Irresistible Blueberry Farm is loaded with irresistible charm! Alison Sweeney and Marc Blucas have wonderful chemistry, the supporting cast is excellent, the story is refreshing, the scenery and art are beautiful, and the rom-com appeal is wonderful. This is pure charming entertainment from beginning to end. Highly recommend!

I'd forgotten how much I adored Marc Blucas. (I'm familiar with him from his days on Buffy.) He plays a great sweet romance lead. He comes across as the kind of guy you love to love =) This was an enjoyable, heart-warming film in a cozy, small-town setting with solid acting. I'd watch more like this is a heartbeat. I'd love to see him in a Hallmark cozy mystery as a romantic lead. One can hope...

The chemistry between the leads is amazing! I adore this movie and bought it after watching on the Hallmark Channel. I watch it often. Sweet, cute, funny & romantic! Plus it's got Shirley Jones whom I love! Cannot wait for a sequel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
